Go Trump graffiti
a stray dog
marking his spot
trumping Trump
my Mexican parrot
lifts up its voice
election night
a scream from the other side
of the fence
Trump victory
the sky bursting
with crows
post-election blues
my sister dressed in black
from head to toe
Thanksgiving dinner
Trump hats and Clinton stickers
left on the doormat
misty night
red states, blue states
strongertogether
first false dawn
Donald Trump Toppled
on RealNews
bald eagle's cry
cut off
Inauguration Day
a neon sign
on the White House roof:
